After a circumspect product concept has been developed, the technology stack is defined, our Technical Team builds your website or mobile application architecture. The process of development is usually divided into milestones (2-week sprints). The Stakeholder will be provided with the time tracking reports to check out the productivity of each team member.

Speaking of communication: Apiko Tech Team holds daily scrum meetings, the Stakeholder joins the meeting at their desire; also the Tech Team holds Demo Calls on every milestone and delivered values.The Stakeholder will be provided with the time tracking reports to check out the productivity of each team member.

We, at Apiko, feel empathy for our each client, that is why we provide customer support for each project type.

For an MVP-type project, you may be sure to get 3-month project support to fix minor application issues and bugs afterthe project is launched.
